Service invoice: describe the work clearly

For services, the description matters as much as the amount. A client should understand exactly what the invoice covers without opening another document.

Use a specific service description

Replace vague lines such as “services” with a useful description: consulting session, website design, repair work, monthly support or a named project deliverable.

Choose a sensible unit

You can invoice a fixed project, hours, days, sessions, square metres or another unit that reflects the agreement.

Add payment terms

A visible due date helps the client know when payment is expected and gives you a consistent way to track outstanding invoices.

Reuse common services

Save recurring services in the Invocket catalogue and add them to future invoices without retyping names and prices.
